Twisted 16.2 Released

On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release of Twisted 16.2!

Just in time for PyCon US, this release brings a few headlining features (like the haproxy endpoint) and the continuation of the modernisation of the codebase. More Python 3, less deprecated code, what's not to like?

twisted.protocols.haproxy.proxyEndpoint, a wrapper endpoint that gives some extra information to the wrapped protocols passed by haproxy;

Migration of twistd and other twisted.application.app users to the new logging system (twisted.logger);

Porting of parts of Twisted Names' server to Python 3;

The removal of the very old MSN client code and the deprecation of the unmaintained ICQ/OSCAR client code;

More cleanups in Conch in preparation for a Python 3 port and cleanups in HTTP code in preparation for HTTP/2 support;

Many
thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of
the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as
well as documentation, and all the people building great things with
Twisted!
